Thanks for all your tests. I setup a box with FeeeBSD 6.4 and was able
to reproduce the problem. It really looks like a compiler issue. To test
this I build seamonkey 2 with GCC 4.2.5 and the browser didn't crash
anymore when visiting www.bhphotovideo.com.
Setting USE_GCC= 4.2+ in the Makefile isn't the best solution (it also
requires another patch to fix a build issue on FreeBSD 6 with gcc4.2) so
maybe we will find a better solution for this.
